dioxide and talc In February 2006 19 scientists from eight countries attheInternational Agency for Research on Cancer IARC Lyon France to reassess the carcinogenicity of carbon black titanium dioxide and asbestiform talc These assessments will be published as volume 93 of the IARC Monographs and are the first assessments since the IARC Monograph amended preamble was gates ie particle size 50-600 nm and agglomerates 227 mMost types of carbon black have small quantities ie % of organic compounds including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons adsorbed onto their surface The highest exposures to carbon black arise during its manufacturing Exposure in industries that use carbon black is difficult to assess because data are All three of the above agents are poorly soluble particles that are weakly toxic and were chosen for assessment scarce No substantial exposure to carbon black is thought to occur when it is bound to other materials such as because evidence suggests that they rubber

possibly carcinogenic to occurs mainly in the form of aggre- human beings ie group 2B Titanium dioxide accounts for 70 of the total production volume of pigments worldwide The primary particles are typically 200-300 nm in diameter but larger aggregates and agglomerates are formed readily Ultrafine grades of titanium dioxide ie 10-50 nm are used in sunscreens and plastics to block ultraviolet light and in catalysts Highest exposures occur in titanium production during packing milling site cleaning and maintenance Exposure data for industries that use titanium dioxide are scarce The largest epidemiological cohort study considered included workers in the titanium dioxide production industry in six European countries and showed a small but significant increase in risk of lung cancer compared with that for the general population however the data did not suggest an response relation Two cohort studies under- taken the USA did not report excess risks of lung cancer neither did a Canadian population casecontrol study Overall the working group concluded that the epide- miological studies on titanium dioxide provide inadequate evidence of carcinogenicity Pigment titanium dioxide and ultrafine titanium dioxide have been tested in rats mice and hamsters by various routes of administration Overall results from studies of and intratriantcrahtre aca hel al instillation provided sufficient evid- ence in animals for the carcino- genicity of titanium dioxide The working group classified titanium dioxide as possibly carcinogenic to human beings ie group 2B Talc refers to both

occasionally asbestos Asbestiform talc should not be confused with talc that contains asbestos Talc is used in agricultural products c_eramics cosmetics paint and other coatings paper pharmaceuticals __ plastics roofing materials rubber and for waste _ _treatment Occupational exposure to talc arises during mining milling and industrial use Consumers are exposed during the use of loose based powders baby powders and body powders used by women on the perineum or genital area Cohort studies from various countries of talc miners and millers were available for assessment In US miners an excess risk of lung cancer was noted but this risk could have been due to exposure to radon and quartz The other cohort studies did not report an increased cancer risk A nested control study of cohorts in France and Austria found no higher risk of lung cancer with increasing cumulative exposure to talc dust A study of women working in the Norwegian pulp and paper industry noted an increased risk of ovarian cancer but this risk was attributed to asbestos exposure The working group concluded that the epidemiological studies provided inadequate evidence for the carcinogenicity of inhaled talc that does not contain asbestos or asbestiform fibres Talc has been tested in rats mice and hamsters by various routes of administration inhalation study showed increased incidences of alveolar or bronchiolar carcinoma in female rats and adrenal pheochromocytoma in rats of both sexes This increase in incidence provided limited evidence for carcinogenicity in animals Overall the working group concluded that inhaled talc that does not contain asbestos or asbestiform fibres is not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity ie group 3 Particular attention was paid to epidemiological data from a prospective cohort study and from 19 control studies on the association between use ofbased body powder and risk of ovarian cancer Although the cohort study did not lend support to an association the control studies showed a high degree of consistency the eight informative reported a 30-60 increase in risk and most of the other studies noted similar relative risks Only two studies suggested that women with the highest exposure had the highest risk The control studies could have been affected by recall bias if women with ovarian cancer were more likely to report bodypowder use These powders generally contain quartz Furthermore low concentrations of asbestos were occasionally present in these powders before the 1970s but the available information is sparse and poorly reported and analyses were often inadequate to identify the fibres detected After careful assessment of the biases and possible confounding factors the working group concluded that the epidemiological studies provided limited evidence for the carcinogenicity of perineal use of based body powder and classified this use as possibly carcinogenic to human beings ie group 2B The authors declare no conflicts of interest
